Comment
Minted by Marian von Castelberg (1724-1742)Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the Abbey of Disentis (Grisons) is one of the few coins from the 18th century that features a woman's portrait. Marian von Castelberg, the lady depicted on the coin, was the abbess of the Disentis Abbey from 1724 until her death in 1741. Her portrait on the coin signifies the importance and influence of women in positions of power during that time period.
